Ute Wassermann has been played on NTS in shows including Donna Leake, featured first on 6 December 2022. Songs played include Strange Song 1.

Ute Wassermann has studied visual arts (sound installation, performance art) at the Academy of Fine Arts in Hamburg, and singing at the University of California, San Diego. She tours the world as an improviser, she realises audiovisual voice performances / installations and compositions for soloists and ensembles. At the core of her research is an ongoing and uncompromised exploration of her voice. Ute Wassermann´s otherworldy singing transcends the human voice. She sings multidimensional sculptural sounds oscillating between electronic, animalistic, inorganic and human qualities. Sound environments are an important source for her imagination. Ute creates imaginary acoustic habitats in which her chameleon like voice is tuning in with composed or found soundscapes. Her methods to extend and alienate the voice include the use of bird whistles, lo-fi electronics, resonators, fieldrecordings and different types of microphones. Her performances engage with everyday objects or self invented instruments for voice which can take shape as acoustic costumes.

Over the years she has developed an ever-growing catalogue of multifaceted vocal expressions which has inspired improvisors and composers all over the world. Her workshops which are often described by the participants as a liberating experience involve improvisation or composition from solo to choir.

She is a member of bands like: Speak Easy / Phil Minton, Thomas Lehn, Martin Blume, MUT / Thomas Rohrer, Michael Vorfeld, electrovoX / Thomas Lehn, Richard Scott, radiotweets / Birgit Ulher, Tree 23 / Joke Lanz, N.E.W. / Andrea Neumann, Sabine Ercklentz, shohob (Raed Yassin), Hatifnatten (Sabine Vogel).
